Super Steve! - Steve was a very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fun guide. The information about the local monks and restaurants and religions was invaluable. He left us with all the info we needed about the castle before we went in! And what a personable guy. Viator comes through again!

Great guide, unclear meeting point instructions - Our guide could not have been more helpful or knowledgable. She was great. We couldn’t find any clear instruction on where or how to meet her though; it’s a long street, so a very simple “at the tram stop on the top of the hill” in your joining instructions could have saved us 15 minutes of panic and phone calls.

Not what we expected but turned out okay - The ticket wasn’t what we expected and caused a small glitch but turned out beneficial as we got some historical background information and saw places outside the castle that we may not have received had we just bought tickets directly at the castle. Martina was a gracious and informative guide.

Not worthwhile. - Guide didn't show us where to pick up an audio guide, therefore we were n the dark (literally and figuratively) in the three places of interest.

Frustrating - It was very inconvenient to have to go to a redemption point to get ticket. Used Uber with address on the voucher. Driver unable to find it in spite of contacting support. Left us at a random place near castle FINALLY and had to walk uphill to find guide. I am old and made me tired and anxious. The tour guide was very good and no complaints. Just address that was given and trouble with contacting support.
